Mikayla's Bed

Finally!—-I have actually finished my first grandaughter’s bed, which I have been working on since July.I have really enjoyed the project, probably because of who it’s for, however, I’m so glad to have it done. I finished it last weekend, but couldn’t deliver and set it up due to some bad weather here. I didn’t want to risk anything happening after so much work. I guess my timing turned out OK since today is her 2nd brithday. I won’t give you any details now because I took tons of pictures duing the build, and will be starting a blog on that soon (If anyone is interested)

I don’t paint much of my work—-Obviously—-but for a little girl, this seemed appropriate. Or at least that’s what her mama said! (Never argue with your own daughter)

My problem now is I have set a precedent here, and #2 grandaughter is due any day now. I need to start hers now so it will be ready when she outgrows the baby bed, which I built 34 years ago for our kids.

Greetings Kent:What color do you call that…. a certain shade of gray? Beautiful…...

WOW… what a super job you did on the granddaughter’s bed. She will be very proud of it, and I bet her Mom is too. You can only sleep so long in a baby bed….. lol. I’m like you—- I don’t like painting my projects, but in this case, I think it goes very well with the theme of a grandbaby. Congradulations on a superb job….

Wow Kent, this is just an absolute beautiful treasure! I LOVE the design !!!!!

I would love to see a blog on this , especially on the painting! Yes, I said painting…..... I have NEVER been able to get a smooth painted finish on “anything” like you did on this bed. What kind of paint? What kind of topcoat?Any special techniques? etc etc etc….....

I really love this Kent. Fantastic workmanship and a great design. I know it’s a bed, but I was thinking it could be adapted to be a bench, maybe with nice cushions on it. Of course we want a blog on this. The sooner the better. I can see this in our entryway. It would look very welcoming.
